（单词翻译）

 The bridge wobbled! The day the bridge opened, hundreds of people walked across it and it started to sway in a disconcerting way! It took two years for the bridge to be secured and made rigid1. Did the architect find it frustrating2 that the bridge had to be closed for two years? Challenging I would say, but of course, if you measure the life of this structure in hundreds of years, it will be around as long as it has a useful life. It’s not made of materials which are going to corrode3, so if you measure that period that we're talking about in the wider perspective, it's a blip. A pretty harrowing blip, but a blip.
